• How much does it cost to hire Atanas for a patent case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Atanas walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Atanas offer a free consultation?

  Atanas charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Atanas's office. Some patent attorneys offer free consults — check Atanas's current terms during booking.

• How long do patent cases in California typically take?

  Simple patent matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Atanas gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Atanas take my case if I'm outside San Diego?

  Atanas is licensed in California. Matters governed by California law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Atanas will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Atanas?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Atanas will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Atanas accepting new patent clients right now?

  Atanas's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
